The stars truly aligned for Asian golf during one glorious Sunday in October as three young talents, Kevin Yu of Chinese Taipei, China’s Wenyi Ding and Kaito Onishi of Japan [above], put an exclamation mark on the importance of the various global pathways that lead to the sport’s ultimate destination, the PGA Tour.
Jasper Stubbs and Quinn Croker will make an immediate switch to concentrating on their professional golf careers after finishing the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Japan on Sunday.
No amateur golfer has ever been at a crossroads quite like the one China’s Wenyi Ding, a rising star at Arizona State and former US Junior champion, found himself in this year.
